Indian Fantail — a large and massive ornamental breed of domestic pigeon. Differs from the basic Columba livia f. domestica by a significantly increased number of tail feathers (30–40 vs 12), a vertically spread enormous tail, short feathered legs, a broad almost square body, and greater mass. Differs from the European/American Fantail by even greater massiveness, a wider and rounder tail (up to 42 feathers), a short thick neck, pronounced cup-shaped feathering of the legs, and a horizontal body posture. Ideal proportion: height when standing (220–280 mm) approximately equal to the diameter of the spread tail (280–380 mm). The tail comprises 70–75 % of the visual height, the angle between the back and the tail is close to 90°. Self-colored plumage (white, black, red, yellow, silver, blue, dun) and patterns (Magpie, Grizzle, Domino) are allowed. Not allowed: fewer than 28 tail feathers, tail tilt >10–15°, weak leg feathering, narrow body.
